Breathe Or Breathing
There is this raging war
An interminable conflict
Questions unanswered
Desires unfulfilled
It runs in circles
The what ifs and whys
The how did that happens
The should have been
The mind as central server
So weird the way it wields
To recall what to forget
To ignore what to keep
The heart cannot feel
The heart cannot see
It’s the brain that beckons
It’s what muscles the core
Feelings and reasons
Signals the mind conjures
The brain might be gone
Yet the heart still lingers
While brain is the psyche
That defines who we are
Heart is the source of life
That controls when to rest
To end, given a choice
Breathe over breathing
I choose to leave than stay
For the peace of mind I crave!
